I was walking home from a friend’s house when I happened to catch a glimpse of this guy out of the corner of my eye. He scared the crap out of me. He was just sitting there perfectly still — even after I fumbled for a camera, accidentally took out my phone instead, dropped my phone, looked in a different pocket, found the camera, and then took a picture.

I tried the red-eye reduction tool on him but I guess it’s not made to work on possums. (Opossums? ‘Possums?)
